To me using backports to Jessie is acceptable; 2 years ago we had to use backports then to get started, so I think that as this hits backports, we should have a fix. I noted from another of your emails... (below) > I've also noted that this backport alone wouldn't solve the problem > with this AMI, because it is partitioned with GPT.

I think after we've been via backports we can possibly recommend it to include in a point release. Thanks Tiago. -- /Mobile:/ +61 422 166 708, /Email:/ james_AT_rcpt.to
